Configurat​ion Utility - Is this supported on new Thinkpads

Can anyone confirm whether the Lenovo Configuration Utility is still supported on new Thinkpads. Looking at the Lenovo website it doesn't look as though anything has been updated since 2006 when the X60/T60 were current models.

If this is no longer supported what has this been replaced by if anything?
Many thanks

Hi Paul:
Although I am no expert on this subject, I think that the "ThinkPad Configuration Utility" has been replaced by additional functionality that Microsoft built into the operating system of Windows Vista.
There is now a tool (program?) that comes with Windows Vista called "Mobility Center".  This appears to include most of the functionality that Lenovo used to provide in the configuration utility.  Lenovo has released a little add-on tweak that gives the Microsoft provided Mobility Center a bit of extra functionality to control features that are unique to the ThinkPad, such as the keyboard light.  That Lenovo add-on is called "Mobility Center Customization", and it is available from the DDFM.
For folks who are still using earlier OS, such as XP, there has probably been no need to update the ThinkPad Configuration Utility since 2006.  By this I mean that the XP operating system is fully mature, the ThinkPad Configuration Utility is fully mature, and it is unlikely that either will be updated again unless some problem is identified.

  • TS140 RAID - no ROM configurat​ion utility on boot

    Might someone help me setup RAID on a new TS140 (70A4001LUX).   I have installed a 128GB SSD and intend to use Windows 7 (64 bit).
    As a first step, I've gone into the BIOS and under Devices->ATA Drive Setup, and selected RAID, as I intend to purchase a few larger drives for this purpose later.
    However, when I reboot, I do not see the "Intel Rapid Storage Technology ROM configuration utility" upon system start (as noted in the user manual).  Instead, the machine complains there is no operating system.
    Any suggestions would be most appeciated.
    Thanks!!

    I just picked up a TS140 and noticed the same issue.  The following steps / BIOS settings fixed it for me.  (From the downloadable Configuring ThinkServer RAID 100 on the TS140 and TS440 guide by Lenovo.)
    1. In the BIOS Setup Utility, go to the “Devices” tab and select “ATA Drive Setup.” Set “SATA Controller” to “Enabled” and “Configure SATA as” to “RAID.”
    2. “Hard Disk Pre-delay can be set to “Disabled” (the default).
    3. Select the “Startup” tab from the menu, then select “CSM” and set it to “Enabled.”
    (Note: for "Boot Mode", I have found that "UEFI Only" works best for me with RAID enabled.)
    F10 to save & reboot.  You should now see the option (for a few seconds) to enter the RAID configuration utility via Control-I.

  • I have an Airport Extreme as my wifi hub and an Airport Express to beam music. All of a sudden the Express stopped working and I get the error message "this version of Airport Utility does not support this base station".  All my software is up to date and

    I have a WiFi system in the house that uses the Airport Extreme for a hub and an older Express for sending music from my Mac to my sound system. Everything worked great till yesterday. When I go to Networks I see the Extreme and I see the Express but the Express is no longer connected and I get an error message "this version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station".  Any ideas?

    This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
    To check and see if  that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.
    Model numbers A1084 and A1088 of the AirPort Express are no longer supported by AirPort Utility in Mavericks.
    You will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.

  • Bought 4th Gen 3TB TC - streaming TV over the internet is now so slow and now is constantly buffering.  It seems the Airport Utility is always 'searching for new networks' - don't know if this is the problem.  It's not the internet speed as checked that.

    Bought 4th Gen 3TB TC - streaming TV over the internet is now so slow and now is constantly buffering.  It seems the Airport Utility is always 'searching for new networks' - don't know if this is the problem.  It's not the internet speed as checked that.  I took my old router upstairs and was streaming TV via my ipad seamlessly - the same program via the TC was constantly buffering.
    I just expected to be able to plug in the TC, so a simple set-up and experience wireless both upstairs and downstairs in my house.  For some reason the range is low and speed veru disappointing.
    I am far from being an IT expert but I would welcome advice about setting up this TC so we can enjoy the product as it was designed.  Please HELP!

    No silver bullet........but my suggestions may drive you in the right direction.
    1.  Unplug the power cable from the TC and wait 10-15 minutes before powering back up.   Seriously wait!
          Proceed to #2 if this dosen't help.
    2.  Unplug the power cable from the TC, ubplug the power cable from your Broadband Modem (assuming it's a cable modem), disconnect ethernet, and cable from modem. 
    2a.  Wait 10-15 minutes then re-connect cable, ethernet, and power back to modem (your modem should power up unless you have a power switch)  wait for all the modem lights to come on EXCEPT activity.
    2b.  Connect ethernet from modem to TC, and plug in the power cable to TC.
          Proceed to #3 if this dosen't help.
    3.  Reconfigure the TC.........Read here........http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
    All really simple to do....if you need additional help let me (us) know.

  • How do I tell what version airport express I have?  Airport Utility says this version does not support this base station.  What to do, how to update?

    I tried to add an older airport express to my network that I had not been using.  It shows up in Airport Utility but Airport Utility says that this version of Airport Utility Dies not support this base station.   I am running airport utility V6.3.4 on a mac mini running OS X 10.10.  Not sure which airport express it is, nor how to check.  I assume I need a firmware upgrade on the Airport Express, but not sure how to do this without Airport Utility.  I tried to download an older version of Airport Utility, but could not install because it does not support OS X 10.10   Any ideas other than throwing a perfectly good airport express away?

    Don't throw the AE away. It is still very useful as I have both the old & new each work well (sometimes the sound keeps dropping out but I think that has to do with the wirless settings!!!)
    You need Airport Utility 5.6.1 which works in 10.10 - I managed to download a .dmg from the net but not sure how I could get it to you.
    The new utility doesn't support  the old AEs unfortunately which I have and Apple have no intention of allowing a utility that will cover all
    AEs.
    Try and get a version 5.6.1.

    Is this an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme? If yes, it is true that AirPort Utility 6.x no longer supports the older AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express models.
    A model number......located on the bottom of the Extreme or on the side of the Express would be helpful to confirm what you have.
    Apple probably does want you to buy a new AirPort Extreme.
    The workaround might be to use a Mac or PC running a 5.x version of AirPort Utility.
    A more complicated workaround would be to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.  This is not supported by Apple......it does work for me.....but may not work for you. See this article for more details:

  • Raid Utility Error Message "raid utility is not supported on this computer"

    I am not doing anything that I know of, but Raid Utility keeps opening up on its own, and a message pops up multiple times a day telling me "raid utility is not supported on this computer"
    Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    Network startup is if you want to start your macbook using a network drive.
    Keep your startup settings at your current drive.
    Raid utility doesn't apply to you since you only have one hard drive installed, unless you installed another hard drive in your optical bay.
    Fibre Channel is another type of hard drive connection via network connection.
    You can't access things you don't have installed in your macbook.  Those are there in case you decide to have a network drive start up options, a raid configuration of a fibre channel network drive.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information.

    I am trying to update my Airport Extreme. I go into the Airport Utility and this is the message attached I get when clicking on it.
    "This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." That;s it.
    I guess I can hard reset it, but this seems weird. Any advice would be nice.
    Thank you.

  • Hi, I have Lightroom 4, but it does not support the new 10-30 pd lens for my Nikon 1. It is supported in LR5. Can I download this lens profile and install in LR4?

    Hi, I have Lightroom 4, but it does not support the new 10-30 pd lens for my Nikon 1. It is supported in LR5. Can I download this lens profile and install in LR4?

    Do you have the latest camera raw installed for Photoshop? If so, you can find the profiles in /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Nikon/ . Lightroom should recognize them if you move them into your home directory's Library folder in the exact same folder structure (but in the Library folder in your home directory). This is assuming you are using Mac OS X. No clue where these files would be on Windows. If you don't have Photoshop, you can install Camera Raw using the combined installer with DNG converter which is a free download from Adobe. This should (I think) give you the profiles in that exact location without owning Photoshop.

    How can I administer a Gen1 Airport Express from, my MacPro (OS 10.9, Airport Utility 6.3.2). I can see the Express in the WiFi window but from the Airport Utility I get the following message: " This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Of course there's nothing of value on the support page. Any clues anyone?

    Apple has dropped support in Mavericks (10.9) of the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme models that were discontinued more than six years ago.
    You can still administer the older AirPort models if you have a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC.

    After updating my Time Capsule, I received this message on my  Airport Express: This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station." How can I fix this?

    Per chance is your AirPort Express an 802.11g model? If so, you will need to use AirPort Utility v5.6 to administer it. However, this version will not install under OS X Mountain Lion without a workaround.
    The following is one of those workarounds:
    Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
    If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
    Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
    Run Pacifist.
    Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
    The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
    Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
    You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.
